Nitrimidazine compared with metronidazole in the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis.

Vaginal and oral nitrimidazine in the treatment of vaginal trichomoniasis.

Detection of the antitrichomonal drug nitrimidazine (Naxogin) in urine.

For 10 years vaginal trichomoniasis has been treated by oral chemotherapy. Some cases appear not to respond satisfactorily to the drug used, and it is important to know whether or not the patient is taking the drug, and if so, whether or not it is being absorbed from the alimentary tract. A simple method for detecting these drugs in urine may be of use in such cases. Two antitrichomonal drugs i...

Bacterial Vaginosis and Trichomoniasis: Epidemiology and Management of Recurrent Disease

Effective therapies exist for the treatment of both vaginal trichomoniasis and bacterial vaginosis (BV). Recurrent trichomonas infection is uncommon, and significant metronidazole resistance remains rare. The management of metronidazole-resistant trichomoniasis is dependent on susceptibility studies, which can be used to guide higher doses of metronidazole therapy. Recurrent BV is common. A mec...
